Pink Floyd - One of My Turns / Dont Leave Me Now (Pink Floyd: The Wall) ©1982 Artist: Pink Floyd Song: One of My Turns / Dont Leave Me Now Pink Floyd: The Wall Pink Floyd: The Wall is a 1982 British live-action/animated psychological drama musical film directed by Alan Parker, based on Pink Floyd’s 1979 album of the same name. Director: Alan Parker Screenplay by Roger Waters Cast: Bob Geldof as Pink Joanne Whalley as Groupies Eleanor David as Pink’s wife James Hazeldine as Lover Pink enters his hotel room with an American groupie, played by actress Jenny Wright. The groupie tries to be friendly to Pink (Wright performs nearly the same monologue as Trudy Young did on the album). Pink is oblivious to the groupie as he watches the film The Dam Busters on television. When the groupie tries to make contact with Pink saying “Are you feeling okay?“, he explodes into a violent fit of rage and begins to destroy everything in his hotel room. Pink then chases the groupie around the room throwing various objects at her, cutting his own hand after he throws a television set out his window onto the street below, shouting “Take that, fuckers!“, his only non-lyrical line spoken in the film. The song begins with a close-up of the debris in Pink’s hotel room, then switches over to the hotel’s pool, where Pink is seen floating in a crucifix position. Having cut open his right hand during his violent outburst, his blood stains the pool water. What follows is a fantasy sequence in which Pink watches The Dam Busters on TV in a much larger, and entirely empty, hotel room. The shadow of Pink’s wife emerges on the back wall before materialising into a praying mantis-like monster, which then transforms into the vulva-shaped flower from “What Shall We Do Now?“. The song ends with Pink cowering in the corner of the room, tortured by both the imaginary mantis in front of him, and thoughts of his wife’s adultery.
